The Rise of Growlmon

We landed on a grassy clearing next to a part of the forest, the bed had broke apart and we landed on the ground. I let out a groan and looked around as Guilmon stood up and sniffing the air for any signs of danger. I blinked before sitting up, shaking my head and decided to look for my clothes.

After a few moments of searching, I had managed to find my clothes and put them on but since it's still night and we were surrounded by water and and icebergs that had drifted away from another island, making the air around us grow colder and colder.

"G-Guilmon...I-I'm cold." I shivered.

"Don't worry Takatomon, I have a way to warm you up!" Guilmon stated as cheerfully as he could before leading me over to a large tree and started to gather leaves that had fallen from the trees around us. He began to make a pile beside me and made an indent in the middle of it before scooping me up and setting me in the pile before laying beside me. He made sure that I was right up against him before settling.

"Wow Guilmon...smart thinking."

"Your welcome!" He grinned before laying his tail over my legs.

As Guilmon fell asleep, I looked up through an opening in the leaves and branches above us, looking at the stars. I couldn't help but wonder about the others and how they were doing. I'm not worried about Tai, Joe, Matt, Sora or Izzy as much as I am about Mimi and TK.

I could feel my eyelids starting to droop. I didn't realize how tired I was, mainly because I didn't get much sleep before Devimon attacked. So I let my eyes shut and I fell asleep, relaxing into the nest of leaves.

That night I had dreamed of Digimon and humans living together in harmony.

The sun shined through the trees and the rays washed over my face, making me groan. After about a minute, I realized that we weren't alone.

"When are they gonna wake up?" asked a high pitched voice.

"Be patient. They'll wake up when they are ready." answers a gravelly voice that sounded familiar. I blinked my eyes open and looked over. Stand there, a few feet away, were a Yokomon and Meramon.

"Yokomon? Meramon? what are you guys doing here?" I yawned before sitting up, rubbing my eyes.

"We were about to ask you that very question." stated Meramon as he knelt down, the heat from his flaming body was a great source of warmth right now. "Yokomon and I were looking for berries and other fruits when the island suddenly came apart. We saw something fall from the sky earlier and went to check it and that's when we found you two."

"Hey Meramon, hey Yokomon." Guilmon greeted as he stretched and got out of the nest and shook.

"Hey Meramon, did you happen to see any of the others?" I asked as I got up.

"Sorry, we didn't. They must be over at some of the other islands."

I let out a sigh, my frame slumping. "It's fine, we'll just have to find to somehow get off of this island and to the others."

"But Takatomon, how are we going to do that?" asked Guilmon. "We can't fly and I don't wanna risk swimming."

"Oh...right…." I groaned. "I forgot I can't swim well."

"We'll help in any way we can." Yokomon piped up, causing me to smile at her.

"Thanks Yokomon."

'It's no problem now let's go find your friends." With that, we all left and walked through the forest. After a few minutes, we walked into a large rocky plain which seemed to be desolate.

"Be Careful." Meramon told us. "Monochromon likes to live in rocky places like this one."

"Thanks for the warning Meramon." I smiled before we continued to walk though I thought I heard something off to the right of us but I didn't think much of it. Maybe I should have because the next thing I knew, there was a roar and the sounds of charging.

I looked over and saw a Monochromon heading straight for us, it's head down. We quickly jumped out of the way and it went running passed. I looked and saw a gear lodged inside of its back, making it go crazy.

"Guys, it has a black gear on its back!" I called to the others.

"I'll deal with it!" Meramon stated before getting ready. Monochromon gave him little time though, as it came charging and ram into Meramon, making him go flying.

"Pyro Sphere!"

Guilmon's attack hit the other in the back, just mere inches from the gear, making the Digimon turned towards Guilmon and charges towards him. He sidestepped and avoiding it, firing more Pyro Spheres at its back. They got close but the gear was so deep into Monochromon that only a small part of it was sticking out.

"It's no good Takatomon!" Guilmon called over. His moment of distraction caused the other to land a tail attack, sending my partner flying.

"Guilmon!" I cried as I began to run over to him. I heard a roar of to the side, causing me to freeze and turn. I saw Monochromon charging at me, it's head down and its nose horn pointed towards me.

"Takato get out of there!" I heard Meramon shout from where he had landed but I just couldn't move, I was too scared to.

"TAKATOMON!" Guilmon cried out for me and a crimson red light shined from my digivice along with Guilmon.

"Guilmon digivolve to...GROWLMON!"

A giant red form came barreling into Monochromon. I looked up and saw Guilmon but he was much much larger and had a turf of white hair and two protruding horns on his head. He had two spike like things on his arms as well. His pupils weren't round and childlike, they were slitted.

Growlmon charged and one of the spikes suddenly move outward and started to glow a blue color.

"DRAGON SLASH!"

The attack hit its mark, sending the other flying. It landed on its stomach with its back towards us, giving us a clear target.

"The back gear, destroy the black gear!" I shouted up at Growlmon and he got the message loud and clear.

"PYRO BLASTER!"

The giant fireball hit the Digimon's back, making the gear fly out and broke apart. He than turned towards me, his pupils staying the same which made me a little worried. He took a step towards me, growling lowly. I took a step back, feeling a little bit scared of Growlmon with that terrifying look in his eye. I quickly look down at the ground, afraid to see what would happen.

I felt something wet landing on my head, making me blink and look up. Growlmon stared down at me, his pupils now round and childlike with tears in his eyes.

"...Don't...be...afraid...Takato...Mon…" he sniffled as another tear tracked down his muzzle and dropped from his snout before he leaned down. This caused my own tears to start and gather in my own eyes.

I reached up and touched his snout before pressing my cheek to it. "Growlmon..."

"Was I really that scary?" he asked me as he placed his clawed hand against my back.

Just a tiny bit." I answered honestly as I started to pet his snout.

"Growlmon, Takato." Meramon walked over, making us look at him. "I think you should go back to Infinity Mountain and see if you're friends are there yet. Remember, staying together will be key."

"Okay, See ya later Meramon, Yokomon! Let's go Growlmon." Growlmon leaned down more and I hopped onto his back and shoulders. He walked through the forest and got to the edge of the island and in the distance we could see the mountain. He crouched before jumping off and landed in the water and started to swim.
